2022 Cforce 500 trailer hitch
« on: September 11, 2022, 06:25:04 PM »
I’ve spent the last hour searching the web for a hitch receiver for my new Cforce 500 but can’t find anything.

Can someone please send me a link or part number to the right receiver for this ATV. Thanks!

It’s supposed to come with the machine.
Call your dealer and have them get one from CFmoto for free.

Thanks! I bought the unit out-of-state (it's not sold in California) and spoke to the dealer this morning. They're going to ship me the part.

Can you or someone post a picture of their's installed.

What I've discovered since my original post... Due to a production shortage the 2022 Cforce 400 and 500 ATV's are shipping without a towing receiver as part of the standard vehicle configuration.

There is a Warranty Bulletin WAR-2022-07 that addresses this issue. The dealer must submit a warranty claim for the Towing Receiver 9DQV-400010-3000S in order for it to be shipped to the dealer for installation. Kits may not be given to customers for self-installation.

Just purchased a 2022 newest gen and almost walked away from deal because of this. Dealer said it's treated like a recall. Clearly states on CFMOTO site it's standard equipment one of the reasons for my purchase. Every other unit there had one and they wouldn't take one off to put on my new unit. They had the best price and I'd driven 3 hours to get the green color that wasn't in stock any closer to me, still chapped my ass. I'm now trying to find a fit and wondering if the Koplin will work for $80? Not a good way for a company making so many strides to turn down the alley IMO anyway.

I heard they ran out and shipped a batch anyway without them. Think I heard they will provide you one when available and at no cost. They know it should have one. Just get the order in. If your dealer gives you any problem, just call CFMoto USA directly.

I understand the frustration too. Mine was purchased as a ranch ATV where towing things around my property was the main reason for purchasing it. I was very upset to see it missing too and EVEN more disappointed at the owner of the dealership in Reno not even knowing how to submit a claim to get one for me. I basically had to figure it out myself and then told him what he needed to do. I lost over a month in that process alone. CFmoto needs to better train and inform their dealers.

As far as taking one off a pre-2022 unit, that's not going to happen as they're welding on.

I did get mine a couple weeks ago and installed it over the weekend. The installation went fine although a little awkward to get it lined up properly and bolted down.

Sacforce could you please explain what the process was to get yours? My dealer told me that it must be installed at a dealership? Thank you

That is correct, your dealer is "supposed" to install the hitch receiver. However, since I live a couple hundred miles away from my dealer and he screwed up he just went ahead and shipped it to me to install. On the warranty bulletin it has the instructions and labor time allowed, which is .1 hour. You remove one blot at the lower crank case and replace it with the longer one supplied with the receiver. Then there are two smaller bolts that go through the frame.

The next time i'm up at my property I'll take a picture of it an post it on here.
